Supplier benchmarking template

A supplier benchmarking template using mobile eAuditor can be a valuable tool to compare and evaluate different suppliers based on specific criteria and performance indicators.

Below is a basic outline of a supplier benchmarking template that can be created using eAuditor:

Supplier Information:

Name of the Supplier
Contact Information
Address
Industry/Category

Benchmarking Criteria:

Define the key performance indicators (KPIs) and criteria for evaluating suppliers. These criteria can vary based on your industry and requirements.

Some common benchmarking criteria include:

Quality of Products/Services
Price Competitiveness
Delivery Time
Customer Service Responsiveness
Reliability and Consistency
Innovation and Technology Adoption
Environmental and Social Responsibility (e.g., sustainability practices)

Scoring System:

Establish a scoring system for each criterion to make the evaluation process more objective and consistent. For example, you can use a scale of 1 to 5, where 5 is the highest score and 1 is the lowest.

Data Collection:

mobile eAuditor that allows your team to input data and evaluate each supplier based on the defined criteria. The eAuditor is designed to be user-friendly and accessible to authorized team members.

Data Input Fields:

Create input fields in the eAuditor template for each criterion. For instance:

Quality of Products/Services: Rating from 1 to 5
Price Competitiveness: Rating from 1 to 5
Delivery Time: Rating from 1 to 5
Customer Service Responsiveness: Rating from 1 to 5
Reliability and Consistency: Rating from 1 to 5
Innovation and Technology Adoption: Rating from 1 to 5
Environmental and Social Responsibility: Rating from 1 to 5

Weighted Scores:

Assign weights to each criterion to reflect its importance in the overall evaluation. Not all criteria may carry the same significance. The sum of weights should be equal to 100%. For example:

Quality of Products/Services: 20%
Price Competitiveness: 15%
Delivery Time: 15%
Customer Service Responsiveness: 15%
Reliability and Consistency: 15%
Innovation and Technology Adoption: 10%
Environmental and Social Responsibility: 10%

Data Analysis:

Use the eAuditor to calculate the overall score for each supplier based on the weighted scores and the ratings they received on each criterion.

Visualization:

Incorporate graphs or charts from the LQATS to visually represent the supplier’s performance. This can make it easier to compare suppliers at a glance.

Additional Notes:

Include an option for users to add any additional comments or notes about each supplier’s performance, which may not be captured by the quantitative data.

Periodic Updates:

Regularly update the data in the eAuditor to keep the supplier benchmarking information current and relevant.

Remember to keep the benchmarking template flexible so that you can adapt it to changing needs or add more criteria as required. Regularly review the benchmarking results to make informed decisions about your suppliers and identify areas for improvement in your supply chain.
